Yeah but why does anybody care what she thinks?

Let's take that opportunity to highlight her prejudices.

She expresses homophobia, actor stereotype. And she links this war to religion, whereas those are barely related, if related at all.

This tells more about that influencer than about Ukraine's president

I care what she thinks because her party has all the control right now, and so her thoughts and words have consequences 🙃
